“My suggestion to newspapers everywhere is to give the public a reason ...” — Graydon Carter Quote

“My suggestion to newspapers everywhere is to give the public a reason to read them again. So here's an idea: get on a big story with widespread public appeal, devote your best resources to it, say a quiet prayer, and swing for the fences.”

“I really don't despise anyone. But there is a list of a half dozen people I would prefer never to hear from or see again.”

“In this age of 24-7 headlines, the term 'newsweekly' seems almost quaint.”

“The ultimate court of appeal is observation and experiment... not authority.”

“Cis women want to know what trans women know. And they don't want the dumbed-down version of it - the same way that I don't want some primer to race, I want to read James Baldwin, I want to read Toni Morrison. I want to read people who are running at a sprint. The appeal of all these different voices is precisely because they don't slow down.”

“I still feel about 22. I don't understand, actually. I mean, as I got older, I thought there would be things like, 'I need a house now', 'I need kids', 'I need a licence to drive', but I have never really had that happen. I guess that forms part of my appeal for the people who like the stuff I do: I'm not a real person - I'm a gypsy.”
